Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Shaal Nur by Etro

Lovely fragrance. Starts with citrus blast, turns quickly into this rather sharp incense and then slowly mellows into a fantastic balance of vetiver, rose, resins and cedarwood with soft guerlinade-like accord softening things in the background.
